Undead Paladins incoming

Sorry I meant the new NE / BE / VE options

In BEs and NEs case they can be used on Paladins and Druids respectively

Seeing as the quest text is from the quests that unlocks that customization I thought that’s what was being discussed and thought it might be pertinent to mention Druid too in the same boat / type idea

But I may be a bit confused now as to the thread so don’t mind me xD

Yes, they stated that their goal is to eventually open up all classes to all races, and are starting off with the one’s that make “lore sense”, so it goes to reason they’re going to rear-end pull “lore” reasons to open up the options.

It’s kind of hilarious because the restrictions provided structure to the game, and despite how often people claim they don’t want structure and restrictions, time and time again it’s proven that people actually crave these things.

As the modern game becomes more and more homogenous, we’ll see an increase in Classic players, and it wont surprise me if the Classic population outgrows that of Modern, especially if they end up adding Classic Tokens to “fight the RMT” that’s currently running rampant due to Blizzard’s lack of action…almost as if they’re creating a justification for a feature the Classic Community was adamantly against when they datamined it.

So based off that, magic is magic… There are no rules even though we’ve had rules since the beginning of wow… Lazy devs will be lazy…

This is a story/writer decision, not a developer one.

True but the 2 go hand in hand IMHO… Devs allow it to be in the game.

Alliance picks it up from Genn

No surprise there since they said they don’t want race to be a determining factor for picking a class. The only hold up is certain classes need more love than others.

Paladins need racial mounts.
Shamans need racial totems.
Druids need more forms.

No, they do not. KT Druids learned actual Druidism from the Drust, connected to the Dream. Gorak Tul’s Death magic isn’t Druidic magic.

I love the Vulpera totems sm

Like literally perfect and feel like they took time to design them

If they make mechagnome transformer druids Blizz can do whatever they want IDC… I will play the heck out of a transformer mechagnome!

Transformer Druid would probably save that race from extinction.

Did they actually say that? Man, that’s a disappointing view for an RPG.

Yes the entire quote went something like “not promising anything but we don’t want race being the determining factor for the class you pick.”

I’ll try to find the link.

I wouldn’t say that that exchange counteracts the notion that typical death-magic undead can’t be Paladins. Or rather… death-magic undead CAN be Paladins as proven by Sir Zelik. But they typically don’t because they’re in constant searing agony. As far as I know, it’s never been something that was literally impossible, just extremely unlikely for anyone to accomplish.

Putting that aside though, the conversation was in the context of knowing the struggles cultural ostracization that other undead feel in which case it seems there is no difference. Life a a light-undead is difficult in much the same ways that life as a death-undead is. To say there’s absolutely no difference at all in any way would be ridiculous. As the very least, Callia is the only undead with her color scheme and that is indeed a difference. The way the two different types of undead interact with light/death based magic likely differs as well.

I have wanted to play a Forsaken Paladin since I started playing WoW,
so if that happens I will be extremely happy basically forever.

the closest we can get rn is giving your forsaken priest a sword or giving your blood elf paladin the new dark ranger skin

Interesting

Almost word for word.

And yet the title (which is on the achievement) is character specific

Yeah, that is weird. The customization is account wide but not the title. :crazy_face:
